Hello everyone, hope you all are well. This may be a bit off-topic for this thread, but I wanted to ask if any of knew what the employment prospects are like for those who graduate from unaccredited PsyD or PhD programs. For example, does anyone here know of graduates of the pre-accreditation McMaster RCT program finding pre-doctoral internships and jobs easily? What about the Memorial University of Newfoundland program before it was accredited?
I also want to know whether in general you think it is worth attending an unaccredited program such as the recently formed PsyD one at UPEI. There, it is not only an unaccredited program (although they say they are actively seeking accreditation but unsure of the timeline), but also a university that is virtually unranked. Does that make attending this program too much of a risk? Or ultimately do you think this kind of name and prestige-related factors cease to matter if you prove you are good at your job?
Would very much appreciate your insight regarding the above.
